Mentoring

(Please note: After a good deal of consideration, I have decided it’s time to wind down my teaching workshops so I will no longer be taking bookings and will stop teaching at the end of 2027. I will really miss meeting everyone and the buzz of a workshop – it’s been absolutely wonderful. But it’s time to make way for some family commitments and eventually something new creatively; I have no idea what that might be as yet but I am excited to make some space to welcome it in!)

Mentoring

I am an ILM qualified coach and mentor and have been working in this field for over 10 years. It is one of my deepest joys!

For groups (face to face UK)

Particularly where a group comprises experienced members who already have a bank of skills and techniques to draw upon, a mentoring day can be a very effective use of group resources. It supports at a personal and whole group level, for example, preparation for an exhibition. Mentoring can help with clarity of direction, exploring possibilities, addressing blocks and feeling motivated.

‘Rachael’s thoughtful feedback gave me just the nudge,confidence and encouragement I needed. Clear, kind suggestions that somehow made everything click…

Feeling very grateful and quietly re-energised.’

One-to-one

Would you like help gaining clarity of direction, exploring possibilities, feeling motivated or developing your own voice? A mentor will suggest, coach, discuss ideas or offer useful sources and networks as well as draw upon their own skills and experience in a supportive environment.

Please contact me for a preliminary chat if you might be interested in creative practice mentoring. My preference is face-to-face but I am happy to work virtually with UK mentees.

For details on any of the above, I’d love to hear from you using the contact page.
